About this translator
Need to know what 0 0 * * 0 actually means? Or perhaps you’d like to schedule a script for “every weekday at 3 PM” but don’t remember the cron syntax. The Cron Expression Translator is your instant bridge between human time and machine time.
How It Works
- Paste a cron expression → get an immediate, easy-to-read Chinese description.
- Type a natural-language schedule in Chinese or English → receive the exact cron expression ready for your crontab.
- The tool automatically detects which direction to translate and returns a single, uncluttered line.
Usage Example
Before (cron):
*/15 9-17 * * 1-5
After (plain language): “在每周一到周五的 09:00-17:59 之间，每隔 15 分钟执行一次”
Before (plain language): “每天凌晨 2 点运行”
After (cron):
0 2 * * *
When to Use
- Debugging or double-checking an existing cron job.
- Writing deployment or maintenance scripts without looking up cron syntax.
- Explaining schedules to teammates who aren’t familiar with cron.
- Any time you need a lightning-fast, one-line conversion between cron and human language.
Paste, translate, schedule. That’s it!
